People need to realize you cannot bring down a woman who is not afraid to eat alone, lose friends, doesn’t care about rejection or feeling accepted and doesn’t accept disrespect.
normalize giving up on people. no more seeing the best in them, no more excusing their behavior. accept them as they are and reject them. If they wanted to appreciate you, they would’ve already.
everybody talks about cutting people off, but nobody really talks about the grief that comes with having to stand firm on that decision, knowing it’s not what you wanted but what was necessary for your well being
I’m sorry but it actually is sooooo nice to have a partner you can call to talk to & help you figure things out. It’s amazing to lay your head next to someone who loves you and sees you when you feel like the rest of world doesn’t. And anyone who tells you otherwise is insane.
at least you showed up authentically. at least you moved with honesty. at least you were direct with how you felt. at least you communicated openly and maturely. at least you tried. at least you never reciprocated their cruel behavior. your actions are a reflection of you.
